Reverse Early Signs of Aging

Early signs of aging appear in the lower face as drooping jowls, sagging cheeks, and loss of definition in the jawline. Still, all can be wonderfully corrected through a strategic procedure known as a mini facelift. The surgery provides many of the same age-defying changes as a full facelift but with shorter incisions and less recovery time. Dr. Admire often combines the mini facelift in Scottsdale with other rejuvenating cosmetic treatments, such as fat grafting, laser skin resurfacing, or dermal fillers, to achieve comprehensive improvement in all areas. 

What is a mini facelift?

A mini facelift is a surgical procedure to combat early signs of aging in the lower third of the face. It can not only elevate sunken cheeks but can also reverse jowling and firm up the jawline, creating a more youthful-looking, attractive profile. Patients enjoy the mini facelift in Scottsdale because of its limited incisions and expedited downtime.

What is Dr. Admire’s deep plane technique?

Traditional facelifts usually only elevate and reposition the skin and the Superficial Musculoaponeurotic System (SMAS). The AdmireMD® Deep Plane™ Face and Neck Lift addresses the tissues deep to the SMAS that are the true causes of facial aging. The Perfect Plane® Deep Facelift addresses the deeper tissues that cause facial aging by repositioning, tightening, or releasing the underlying muscles, fat pads, and retaining ligaments that traditional facelifts do not address to achieve a more successful rejuvenation of the face. Therefore, the deep plane facelift lasts longer than other types of facelifts, providing a youthful, natural rejuvenation for 15-20 plus years.

A mini facelift helps patients who are dealing with the following:

  • Significant volume loss or descent of the mid- and lower face
  • Separation between the lower eyelids and cheek
  • Deep nasolabial folds
  • Deep jowls
  • Deep marionette line
  • Aging around the mouth
  • Significant platysmal neck bands and neck fullness or laxity
  • Blunting or loss of jawline contour
  • Fuller lower face, losing the youthful V-shape
